Lexar, popular makers of flash memory solutions, that many thought had thrown in the towel (but were recently acquired by a Chinese company), recently announced a massive 512GB Lexar High-Performance 633x microSDXC™ UHS-I card meets the Application Performance Class 2 (A2) requirements from the latest SD Association’s 6.0 specifications.
This card is the largest capacity A2 microSD card on the market, and is surely going to interest GoPro Hero7 Black owners or those flying drones that use the MicroSD card format. Or better yet, those of you who pre-ordered the RED Hydrogen One smartphone… Those of you, who attended the PhotoPlus Expo held at Javits Convention Center in New York City last week, may have spotted this card at the Lexar stand.
A2 allows app-intensive users to experience higher minimum random write speed of 2000 IOPS and minimum read speed of 4000 IOPS. This ensures blazing speed to run and store apps directly on the A2 memory cards using Android Adoptable storage enabled devices. A2 cards will be identified with the App Performance Class symbol making it easy to recognize and maximize the devices potential.
